This study aims at providing a tool to specify travel motivations for sustainable tourism destinations. A framework with potential factors influencing tourist choice to visit a sustainable tourism destination is presented. And the framework includes four variables, namely: socio-demographic items, travel behaviour patterns, push factors and pull factors. Future researches to answer why or why not tourists choose a sustainable tourism destination can be developed based on the framework.
